Gary Bell Jr. also dropped in 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting from three-point range for the Bulldogs (20-2, 7-0 WCC), who have a 7-0 start in conference play for the first time since going undefeated in league play in 2008-09. Sam Dower and Drew Barham scored 13 points apiece, while Barham connected on 4- of-5 from downtown in the victory.

Since suffering a heartbreaking 64-63 loss at ninth-ranked Butler on Jan. 19,
Gonzaga has beaten its last three opponents, BYU, San Francisco and LMU, by a
combined 79 points.

Anthony Ireland led Loyola Marymount with 19 points and five 3-pointers for
the Lions (8-13, 1-7), who have dropped five straight and seven of their
last eight. Ashley Hamilton chipped in nine points in the loss.

Gonzaga started the game on a 16-6 surge after Olynyk hit a 3-pointer just
over six minutes into the contest. Ireland helped draw the Lions briefly
within 22-16 after a 10-6 run with just under 10 minutes remaining in the
first half, but that's when the offense hit a slump.

Unfortunately, it was the closest the home team would get with the 'Zags for
the rest of the game.

Gonzaga unleashed a 24-2 flurry to end the first half to head into the break
up comfortably, 46-18. The visitors shot lights out from behind the arc -- 8-
of-13 for 61.5 percent -- while Bell had 15 points, all off 3-pointers. Loyola
Marymount shot 24 percent from the floor and had just three players find the
scoreboard, all after 20 minutes of play.

Gonzaga increased its already dominant lead to 58-26 eight minutes into the
second half with Dower's tip-in and as the game reached under eight minutes,
David Stockton's trey made it 69-32 before the team rolled for the win.
